It was an exciting change in the method of writing and the historical characters made it all the more interesting. I really enjoyed reading this book. It starts just a tad laborious, but it evolves into a real strange and different finish.

4 cassettes, approx. 6 hours. 4 different stories - except that they are all different viewpoints around the same chain of events, told by 4 different witnesses. A very interesting listen.

A man dies in medieval Oxford, and the story surrounding this incident is described in 4 different accounts by 4 characters. Complex and sometimes confusing, but intriguing.
